English football in its early stages
In the 1880s were founded the first professional English football teams. These were often amateur clubs but many of them went on to become professional teams like West Bromwich Albion, Aston Villa and others. The popularity of these clubs spread to the rest of England, where it is still played today. However, there was a certain quality to the games early on. The players were generally of a high standard and they were all well educated.
Premier League clubs
The Premier League is a top-tier English football league. Twelve of the original 22 clubs are still in this league. Six of these teams have been at the top for each season since their inception. Six others have been relegated. The Premier League is not for the Welsh clubs Cardiff City City or Swansea City. They do however play in the league. Below is a list with the locations of Premier League clubs across England.
Sunday league clubs
There are many Sunday league clubs around England. Many are ex-professionals who used to play for Tottenham Hotspur or West Ham. But how do they qualify to play Sunday league soccer? They were often caught stealing an XBox at a Cash and Carry. They are then able to pursue a Sports Science degree, and train as personal trainers. You can still play for some of the most prestigious clubs in England and not break the bank.
English football governance bodies
English football's governing bodies are in serious trouble. They are not up to the task. This problem is called the Principal Agent Problem. It occurs when a person has power over another entity and does so in their own best interests. This problem is made worse by the inability of football's governing bodies to hold themselves accountable. The question is, how can the governing body of football change?
England's national team won major tournaments
In the last decade, England's national team has been in the spotlight again, thanks to their win in the Euro 2020 competition. Although England's men's team lost to eventual winners Brazil in a close match, the squad was still considered a young and dynamic one. The team took a stance against racism before the games, supported LGBT pride, as well as campaigned against poverty. England's Euros final in England was marred by a disorderly crowd outside Wembley Stadium, and racist remarks directed at the players.
